Field notes from the practice.

Code generation is genuinely transformative, but it's not the most interesting part of what AI is doing to software engineering. The more interesting story is what happens to the engineer's role when the code itself stops being the bottleneck; and integration, architecture, and judgment become the scarce resource.

AI is shifting IT Service Management from reactive firefighting to proactive, predictive, and increasingly autonomous operations. A practical look at how AI-powered tools; from predictive analytics to conversational agents; are delivering measurable business value in managed services.
